The “eat more protein!!!” message is popping up all over, usually in the context of encouraging more meat. This could have huge impacts on land use requirements, water use & pollution, emissions etc. Americans consume >200 pounds of meat/person/year. We should eat more plants/less meat instead.

As someone who doesn't have a good grasp on economics, I found this article enlightening and heartening. #taxtherich

Crimson Tide is an actual football team!? I really just thought it was a movie and what my friends and I called our periods when we were teenagers.

I got my flu and covid vaccines yesterday. I am increasingly grateful to live in a place (British Columbia) that provides both shots conveniently and free of charge.

As a Canadian, I must #gojaysgo

There are very few intact watersheds left in British Columbia and the Walker is one of them! Protecting each and everyone becomes increasingly important. They are the keepers of biodiversity and connectors between fragmented ecosystems. Their importance cannot be understated. #conservationnorth

targeting me & my community will not bring you what you seek. i love you & believe in your healing.

On the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Pierre Poilievre spoke out for the group he says faces the most hate-based violence. Um, and apparently that group is…Christians? (It isn’t). I called for backup on this one. Luckily @pampalmater.com answered:

…forced attendance in Residential Schools, where the attempt was made to “kill the Indian in the child”. They were stripped of language, culture, faith, and dignity. They were abused in every way possible. They deserve more than a token show of awareness. They deserve reconciliation.

Thank you Jen ❤️

Yup. But it's easy to say things like "right-wing disinfo machine." but not realize that Dems are in a similar disinfo machine. For years, lots of Dems wondered why so many Black folk were disappointed with Elon Musk, or Joe Biden. It was for exactly the same reason: We knew things they'd done.🤷🏿‍♂️

For more than a decade, professor of forest hydrology Younes Alila’s research showed how B.C.’s land management choices can amplify floods and landslides. He published in peer-reviewed journals, warned officials and spoke to anyone willing to listen. Few did.

The most effective way to reduce homelessness is to give people homes. I'm not sure why we pretend that this is so complicated. You end pantslessness by giving people pants.👖 You can't end pantslessness by throwing away someone's shirt too. That doesn't make sense.

💸 You have the opportunity to help shape the 2025 federal budget! Due to the timing of the federal election, the federal government postponed the release of the budget due & reopened consultations for the public to highlight what they would like to see prioritized in federal spending.

Join us for an eye opening film and an important discussion about forestry and flooding in BC. Trouble in the Headwaters is a hard-hitting documentary that investigates the 2018 Grand Forks flood and reveals the connection to clearcut logging in the headwaters of the Kettle River Basin.

This is terrifying. www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.

I think most people (myself included) don’t have an intuition for orders of magnitude (e.g., the difference between millionaire and billionaire). One way to appreciate this is time, since we all experience it. Here's the difference between a thousand, a million, and a billion seconds.

I save up pet hair from brushing over the winter then put it out for the birds in the spring. It makes my heart happy.

A little peace in these trying times.

Big day tomorrow in Canada - total blackout on all US retailers here (yes, including the “good guys” like Costco and the Canadian subsidiaries). Loads of local and other Canadian businesses to support! Try something new! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I’m just so happy that Canada once again beat the Russians at hockey tonight.

Yes, kids will need to learn academics but these lessons shouldn't be straight-jacketed onto them in the toddler & preschool years. The funneling down of structured learning is even MORE reason to let kids play while they can. Let's protect this precious, ever shrinking window of time for our kids

Canadians are watching in horror as Freedom 2025 tenets are swiftly enacted in the US. Make no mistake - Freedom 2025 (in all but name) is the plan Conservatives have for Canada as well. They might mix in some maple syrup to make it go down, but you’re seeing a preview. #CanadaResists

Sending love from me and my kitties to the trans community and everyone else struggling right now.

I think my favourite David Lynch film is The Straight Story just because in the opening credits is Walt Disney Pictures Presents....a film by David Lynch. And that is just hilarious.
